The aim of the present paper is to study the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) level on subjects affected by stress. The device that we have used, connects to the people by finger electrodes to record GSR. The purpose was to find statistical differences between the activities (mental task, walking, sitting and to fill out a survey about their lives) and their stress level. During the experiment, it was found that the survey caused the source of high stress and increasing skin conductance was caused by sweat secretion (mental, physical activity). Is needed to work of collecting data from more subjects because GSR is depended on human behaviour, is variable upon many factors (their eating habits, their emotional state, their gender, their relationship with family, etc) and we need to build a substantial data set for a valid research.

During operation, the turbine bulb shaft is subjected to static specific stresses (tension, compression, torsion) and dynamic (fatigue, random vibrations). These stresses are the effect of hydraulic forces and moments developed on the rotor blade, the weight of the rotor (with or without oil) in the console and inevitable vibrations, which creates a rotating mass unevenly distributed over the axis of symmetry of the turbine. Observations made on the turbine bulb shafts of the Iron Gate II CHE have revealed cracks in the connection area of a shaft flange that engages it with the turbine rotor. Examination of these cracks leads to the conclusion that they are specific to the inevitable fatigue demands in exploiting the tree and enhancing the environment in which they work. Therefore, in the paper, a presentation and analysis of the damage of bulb turbine shafts from CHE Porţile de Fier II, after a significant number of hours of operation.

The wider use of aluminum and its alloys also involves specific technologies for reconditioning and repairing the various components. Specialist studies have shown that a more advantageous technique, from an economical point of view, than welding with less polluting and good mechanical properties is brazing. The only disadvantage of this process is the stage of preparing the surfaces to be assembled. Specialty literature and many published papers provide detailed information with direct reference to the mechanical and physical properties of aluminum alloy assemblies refurbished by brazing depending on the surface preparation mode. The present paper aims to make a study, based on experimental data, on how the surface preparation influences the hardness of aluminum alloy assemblies refurbished by brazing. The areas of the base materials, the filler material as well as the thermal diffusion zones resulting from the brazing operation will be studied. The main problem is the difference in hardness between the materials to be assembled and the material with which they are assembled. This can be a major cause, which can generate defects in operating cycles by lowering the strength of the assembly. By choosing an optimal surface preparation technology, we can reduce these differences by obtaining an assembly with uniform properties in all its structure, so with a longer service life.

The study is a novelty because was elaborated on a group of students in the academic environment in France. Following the documented steps, I have noticed that several questionnaires have been used in order to identify stress levels in the academic environment. The case study presented in this article consists in a questionnaire meant to identify stress factors. There are several factors that are likely to cause stress: changes to routine, time pressure, difficult tasks, too much homework's, financial state, sleep schedule and physical work conditions. I believe that stress management results could be visible if we can motivate people to adjust their behavior and life style.

Cruciform fillet welded joints are found in many industrial applications. Welded structures are often subjected to load cycles due to loads that can vary in position and value. As a result of these loads, the phenomenon of fatigue occurs. Fatigue consists in the occurrence of failures, after applying a large number of load cycles, of loads below the yield limit of the material from which the structure is made. Fatigue mattempts have to be carried out over very long periods of time and are very expensive because of the expensive machines. A method by which the fatigue behavior of fillet welded joints can be predicted is the finite element method. The paper proposes to investigate by the finite element method, the fatigue life of some cruciform-fillet-welded specimens, making a comparison of two applied rehabilitation techniques.
